🌿 When the summer heat peaks, your body naturally seeks internal cooling, digestive lightness, and emotional calm. According to Ayurvedic principles, this is the time when Pitta dosha (the fire element) is at its highest. To maintain harmony, your food and lifestyle should cool, hydrate, and soothe the body.
That’s why at Doctor YSK, we recommend the Gond Katira Drink — a time-honored, seasonal tonic that naturally pacifies excess heat, supports digestion, and promotes vitality. Ideal for pregnant women, children, or anyone prone to heat-related fatigue.
🌸 What is Gond Katira?
Gond Katira (Tragacanth Gum) is a natural resin exuded by certain plant roots. Once soaked, it transforms into a soft, jelly-like cooling agent. In Ayurveda, such substances are known to have Sheetala Virya (cooling potency) and Snigdha Guna (moistening quality), which nourish and balance the body during hot, dry seasons.
🥣 Doctor YSK-special Gond Katira Drink
Ingredients:
2 tbsp Gond Katira (soaked overnight)
2 tbsp Natural Rose Syrup (rose is a classic Pitta-pacifier)
1½ cups Chilled Milk or Filtered Water
1 tsp Soaked Basil Seeds (optional, further supports Pitta balance)
Ice Cubes (optional, use moderately)
Chopped Nuts (Almonds, Pistachios – for grounding and nourishment)
Instructions:
1. Soak Gond Katira overnight. It will bloom into a jelly-like form.
2. Rinse well to remove any excess stickiness.
3. In a serving glass, add rose syrup, soaked Gond Katira, and sabja seeds.
4. Pour chilled milk or water. Stir gently.
5. Add ice and garnish with nuts.
6. Enjoy immediately for optimal effect.
